Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

Returning to the Qingtian Hunting Lodge with the valuable scroll, Wang Yu opened the door to find Lingling sitting on a high stool in front of the counter, idly swinging her little feet. Upon seeing Wang Yu, her first words were, "Oh my, isn't this our Qingtian Hunting Lodge's newest top courtesan? Why haven't you come back to see this old man for so long?"

Wang Yu flicked her forehead and said, "Don't act like an adult at such a young age. Besides, I've already said before that I need to focus on my cultivation recently, not that I'm telling you not to take on any commissions for the time being."

"I didn't accept the commission, but that's no excuse for not coming for so long. Are you still a hunter from the Qingtian Hunters Agency?..." Lingling put on her dramatic act and started playing the role of a Shanghai auntie.

After playing around for a while, Wang Yu took out the scrolls he had bought that day and started discussing them with Lingling.

"I think the information about Tianlanze, Ximatan, and Fenfengpo is the most valuable. Lingling, could you please help me make a judgment?"

As a seasoned hunter, Lingling was no stranger to the Secret Scrolls. She first looked through all ten scrolls, approved the three pieces of information that Wang Yu found most valuable, and then ran upstairs to start searching for related information. Wang Yu closed the shop door, hung up the "Closed" sign, and also went up to the second floor, where he found Lingling among a pile of open books and several screens.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that a spirit seed, or even a soul seed, is being nurtured at Xima Pool in Cangshan," Lingling said decisively. "I'll explain on the way. Right now, go and find a way to buy all the secret scrolls from Cangshan in Dali. If you don't have enough money, take mine." As she spoke, Lingling handed over a bank card. "The password is xxxxxx. Act now!"

"Sir, yes Sir!" Wang Yu trusted Lingling's judgment completely. He kicked open the window, stepped onto the tarpaulin, and sped towards Lujiazui, simultaneously dialing Zhao Manyan's number: "Old Zhao, I need to buy Zhimi reels! Shall we still go to Guomao?"

"Do you need the categorized Zhimi scrolls?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"Yes! I want the Zhimi scroll from Cangshan Mountain in Dali!" Wang Yu shouted into his phone as he made a sharp turn, almost losing his grip on it.

"Get your money ready, see you in the private room at the China World Trade Center!"

As Wang Yu sped along, he saw an ATM nearby, slammed on the brakes, pulled out his Lingling card, inserted it, entered his PIN, and exclaimed "Holy crap!" upon seeing his balance.

It starts with 5, has 8 digits, and is worth over 50 million!

Suddenly, a feeling of being kept by a rich young girl arose in Wang Yu's mind. He felt that with money backing him, he straightened his back a bit more.

Twenty minutes after he arrived at the private room, Zhao Manyan also arrived. Wang Yu waved his hand and directly transferred one million yuan, instructing Zhao Manyan to help him buy up all the low-level secret scrolls related to Cangshan Mountain in Dali. He also sent his location to Lingling; for important matters, the strategist should, of course, be on-site to direct operations.

Zhao Manyan lived up to expectations, spending 91 yuan to get him sixty or seventy scrolls at the best price. Just then, Lingling arrived, and Wang Yu briefly introduced the two, saying that Lao Zhao was his good brother and Lingling was his partner in life and death, praising them both quite happily.

The three then began to divide the work. To be precise, two eunuchs served one emperor, Lingling, who was only responsible for looking at the scrolls, throwing away the useless ones and keeping the useful ones. The head eunuch, Wang Yu, was responsible for disassembling the secret scrolls, hanging the useful ones on the whiteboard according to Lingling's requirements, and swiping cards for payment. The second eunuch, Zhao Manyan, was responsible for moving the increasingly expensive secret scrolls into the private room according to Lingling's increasingly detailed classifications. At first, the sixty or seventy scrolls were all light blue, but later, orange, purple, silver, and gold scrolls were also opened up in large numbers. In short, after an afternoon, the group still managed to sift out a large amount of useful information.

First, Xima Pool is located at the junction of Yuju Peak and Longquan Peak, only twenty or thirty meters from the summit. Strong winds prevail year-round on both sides of Cangshan Mountain. Strangely, the wind is a gentle whirlwind below one meter above the ground, but a strong gale above one meter. Even most mages cannot withstand the cold wind for long. Therefore, although Cangshan Mountain is very close to Dali City, it is a place rarely visited by people.

Secondly, recently, local hunters discovered a group of Wind Erosion Demons that migrated from the north, but they did not invade Dali City. Therefore, the military mages and hunters only kept an eye on them and did not make any further substantial progress in their exploration.

Finally, and most importantly, several scrolls have mentioned the possibility that a wind spirit seed might be gestating near Xima Pool. Spirit seeds often grow in places rich in natural elements, and considering the situation in Cangshan, the possibility is not small.

In short, after burning through more than four million, Wang Yu and Lingling have already grasped some information about Cangshan, especially Xima Pool. There are very few hunters active there, which means that as long as they keep exploring, they are very likely to find a rich mine!

It's done!

Logically speaking, after deciding to go on a wilderness exploration, the next thing to do should be to form a team. However, the people Wang Yu knows are all beginner mages, while the senior brothers and sisters from the Qingtian Hunting Grounds that Lingling knows are either busy with important work or have gone out to train like Xiao Ding. For the time being, the two of them couldn't find anyone to help them. They couldn't very well ask Old Man Bao to escort them, could they?

Thinking about it carefully, a team needs to be able to attack, defend, and escape, ideally with a healing mage as well. However, Cangshan has its unique geographical advantages. For a wind mage, a few wind spells can take them from the mountaintop to the safe zone at the foot of the mountain, so the escape ability is solved. As for attacking and defending, that tests Wang Yu's level of Feng Shui skills. When facing a general-level demon, a basic fire spell is still too childish.

As for healing mages, Wang Yu was confident that there were plenty in Dali City, so there was no need to bring anyone up the mountain. Even with Lingling, he planned to have her assist him from the foot of the mountain, while he would do the actual work on the mountain by himself.

While he was making plans in his mind, Lingling got up, clapped her hands, and told Wang Yu to pack up and go home. Although Cangshan was not as ancient as the ancient capital, it was still an ancient capital, and she was very much looking forward to this adventure. After all, only in such places could the purest bloodline and the oldest demons dwell, and the oldest treasures and magical artifacts be buried.

Lingling was completely engrossed in the pile of information, while Wang Yu focused on studying the opponents he might encounter later. The first was the Wind-Treading Serow, which was widely distributed in Cangshan. This strange beast, which was neither cow, nor horse, nor sheep, had wind vortexes under its hooves and could leap from cliff to cliff, making it a true practitioner of the saying "a ninety-degree wall is an eighty-nine-degree slope".

Secondly, there is the Azure Wind Leopard, a solitary beast-like demon that can use the power of wind to amplify its already outstanding running speed and agility. Furthermore, its claws and teeth can be imbued with wind elements. Once it reaches adulthood, it becomes a top-tier war general-level demon.

………………

When Wang Yu felt his eyes getting a little dry, he looked up and found that Lingling had already fallen asleep lying down. There was nothing he could do; children shouldn't sleep like that. Wang Yu grabbed a blanket, rolled Lingling up, and put her back on her bed.
